It's got a medium/soft flex under foot and super buttery soft in the tip and tail. The flex makes it feel like it would be a sick ski. I have yet to ;ski it but it is definitely on my list of skis to try.

I had the 07-08s and I can say that the flex was fun and buttery. I would go with somewhere between medium and high flexibility. I actually had a few durability issues. I cracked an edge but had it repaired and had some issues with the bases but I just p-tex'd it.

I ended up getting em and mounting em up with sth12s, seem pretty fun so far, does anyone find these a little heavy though? maybe it's just the bindings....

sth's are pretty light? and just curious, why did you go with a ski that not many people have used and stand by for durability? im not trying to be a jerk or anything, im just curious

Well, a few reasons: first off, I've had a hard time finding a ski with flex/dimensions I liked, and I liked the ignitions. Also, I researched them more outside of this thread, and it seems like there are a lot more positive review than negative ones. I've also talked to people in person that know about the ski, which seems a bit more reliable than the internet... They were pretty damn cheap compared to the other options I was looking at as well. You're right though, not many people ride them compared to some skis, so we'll see how they hold up...

dope bro dont worry to much about the durability on these there is a lot of topsheet chipping but that shouldent affect the skis performance and i didnt get any edge cracks until the end of my second season on them. hope u like em

alright sweet, and yeah I don't really care about the topsheet, I had a pair of old ar6s that chipped like mad...
